Shaman, I think what you are looking for is not transformers in every channel but discrete class A instead of cheap IC/op-amps. This will get you closer to the Neve sound.

Have you tried the Phoenix N16?

The Neve 8816 is more in line with SSL and the new Neve desks that use IC/op-amps on the channels.
